I have about 3 moniters in my house that are junk. My 19 just took a shit and I dont feel like paying to have it refabbed… sooooo… Anyone know anyone that will take these off my hands and scrap them for me? I dont care if I get money for them… I just want to get them outa my god damn house, to much clutter. ---

I think the good will takes old computer stuff and fixes them. But i would take a sledge hammer to them, or through them off a 10 story building or something like that. ---

The garbage men take them - I just threw away a bunch of old computer shit. on a side note - West Mifflin takes just about anything in the garbage, they took 2 old propane tanks I had and just chucked then in the truck and moved on. ---

it’s illegal to throw away computers / moniters in some town… like greensburg for example… i mean, :gives:, but yeah, it is illegal… i also have 3 - 4 crt’s i’m looking to get rid of… just going to toss them in a dumpster here or there…computer recyclers will take it, but you have to PAY THEM :jerkit: … so F that. also, i slammed a 15" crt, over-head, into a corner of a dumpster and couldn’t break the screen… those beyatches are tough… no doubt! ---

There is 3 damn rivers in the city and you don’t know what to do?! haha see if you can make a CRT Sail boat hahaha. j/k. My garbage collection guys will take alot of shit. If you need a legit place to get rid of them set them at my garbage spot on sunday nights/monday morning and it will go bye bye. I had 4 stacked a few months ago one being a 21" that weighed like 500 pounds. They just chucked them all in the truck. ---

Bring them over to my driveway on thursday morning, they take them 😃 I hear ya on the monitors being tough, we throw old monitors away at work off the loading dock and into the dumpster. We have had the whole plastic case break apart, but never broke a screen. ---

I scanned that directly off of the packaging of my Dell PC. I thought it was slightly humorous.
